Can You Write Off Foreclosure Taxes?
Short answer: Forgiven mortgage debt can be taxable; the special main-home exclusion ran through 2025, but insolvency or bankruptcy can still exclude it.
A loss on the foreclosed home itself isn't deductible.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
